Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:47:18 +0000http://www.davisenterprise.com/?p=312919#comment-403367I am writing to protest the imminent closing of Common Grounds Coffee, my home away from home in South Davis. I am disappointed — disgusted, actually — that Regency Centers, a very large corporation, won’t offer a new lease to Son Chong and his wife, Michelle Kim, to keep their successful mom-and-pop store in the Oakshade Town Center. The company’s take-no-prisoners attitude jeopardizes the livelihood of the proprietors of an independently owned small business.

I hope Regency Centers will reconsider its decision and start negotiating at this eleventh hour on a new lease for Common Grounds Coffee. Not only will this be a sound business move, it will earn Regency Centers the goodwill of a large segment of the Davis population. For many in our town, Common Grounds has been a destination coffee shop for more than a dozen years. The shop, under Mr. Chong and Ms. Kim, has attracted a very diverse group of loyal customers — neighborhood residents; business executives; and UC Davis students, educators and administrators.

I hope Regency Centers will give Mr. Chong and Ms. Kim the opportunity to keep Common Grounds Coffee in operation at the Oakshade Town Center for many, many years.

Bad business for the shopping center. Best of luck for Common Grounds. I’m sure your new landlords will appreciate a sound and successful business more than your old ones.
